Hi Red.
Yeah, that's me. I've lost my copy of that actually, and I couldn't remember what issue it was so thanks for that!
It was a great day for Scoobs, and it was also at the height of the Scoob vs Cossie banter that was going on here and on the RS Owners board.
We all performed great on the day, and I was obviously delighted with the 0-60 time of 4.5 secs from my MY98 with only breathing mods (and an AP clutch)
Simo.
Not got the RR yet, driving a 5 series at the mo! Unfortunately, not an M though ..........yet.
S.
PS
Regarding my somewhat infamous driving style, I'd just to clarify a few things to people who maybe don't know and may have heard or read somewhat inaccurate statements.....
I had never driven on a track before I got my Scoob, and to me it was as much of a track day car as my every day workhorse. I therefore considered that the track was the place to drive the car to, and often beyond, it's limts in a relatively safe environment.
In all the track days I attended, including trips to The Ring, I only damaged my car twice, at Donno and at Coombe. The incident at Donno genuinely wasn't my fault and despite the damage I continued in the afternoon session, some people were even mad enough to climb over the driver's seat (passenger door wouldn't open) to park their butt on my passenger seat for rides!!!
I have visited the gravel on numerous occasions, most famously (and embarrasingly) at Trax 2000, which Duke Video very kindly included in their 'History of the Impreza' video. Like I said before though, better the gravel trap than someone's lounge!
To some people it may have seemed like I was simply reckless, to others I was a gifted driver on the edge.
Whatever people's opinion of my driving, I enjoyed every moment of Scoob ownership and the community it created on this and other boards. With the amount of threads now on this board, it is apparent that some of the old community spirit has clearly gone, with commercial interests becoming more prevalent. It's good to see that some of the old skool are still around keeping the flame burning, and I hope the new owners are as enthusiastic as we used to be. Track days seem to be well run by Muddy and I hope they're still as popular as they were when I organised them. I may well pop along to one soon....

Stef had already left because he had a fit of the giggles
Oh, and I though he was meant to look like Bepe...
Who's that bloke waving then?

John was quite relaxed...

and after a few beers decided he was a ladies man...either that or Faye had no where to run

This just goes to show why monkeys should not be given alcohol:

Be prepared I say...

Nice mix of toys, and yes that is a real RS200 ahead of John's former steed the westie from hell

I'll have to dig out my "Cossiekiller at the Ring" video!!
I often wonder what happened to the old names.
Dave T-S and Sunilp (Sunlip in Dave's words!) will be back next.

Stef, I think you stopped my session with the gravel trap incident at Trax 2000
I was quite drunk in the pictures above (post 218) Not been that Ill for a long time
You should have turned up at the Bedford RS day a few weeks ago!

DTS is still about, but he drives a ladies car now - a Forester XT - and is working on a building site. He also answers to the name of Davina now too, but that's a different story

Mungo.
I still get people asking about the video. I've been meaning to do a sequel for some....oooh....five years or so now!!
I've still got the tapes and some of the newer footage is just awesome.
Hmmmm.....
Floyd.
Yeah, sorry about that. Still, it's the organisers birth right to stop a session if he sees fit!
